Volume 1 Chapter 505 A Hard Catch-Up
Even if Chen Yu, Gao Fei and Rigano embraced each other warmly at the beginning, even if the Fiorentina fans and Empoli fans cheered for Gao Fei and Rigano together, even if Empoli was not in danger of relegation, it was difficult to change the tense atmosphere of the Tuscan war.
After the start of the game, Fiorentina, who was in dire need of a victory, launched a fierce attack on Empoli from the first minute, although it was a 433 formation, but because of the bold pressure of the central defenders, Fiorentina maintained strong pressure on the side and in the middle, making Empoli's back line nervous and almost breathless.
Obviously Empoli had prepared for this, in the face of Fiorentina's strong pressure, they were nervous but not flustered, the back line shrunk at the edge of the penalty area, the double back high flying and Almiron swept in front, Fiorentina's front three is not so easy to get a chance to shoot, but also to get the ball easily.
Empoli came to Fiorentina to play, and they also had the consciousness of being pressed and beaten, and they were very well prepared defensively, but in attack, Empoli had no chance to fight back, and could only be beaten passively.
Thirty minutes into the game, Fiorentina were unable to defend themselves despite Empoli's tenacious defence
Broke.
When Chen Yu received the ball with his back to the goal and was about to turn around, Gao Fei inserted the ball into Chen Yu's crotch from behind and stabbed the ball away, and at the same time knocked Chen Yu down on the turf.
"Force!"
The referee's whistle blew and Gao Fei was awarded a foul, but Gao Fei was not given a yellow card.
"Get up."
Gao Fei smiled and handed his hand to Chen Yu.
Chen Yu took Gao Fei's hand and stood up, and said, "Be careful, next time I will break your goal."
Gao Fei made a vicious look and said, "If you dare to break our goal, I will kick your legs."
The referee didn't understand what Gao Fei said, but looking at Gao Fei's appearance, he thought that Gao Fei was threatening Chen Yu, so he warned Gao Fei: "Don't threaten the opponent on the court." ”
Gao Fei looked at the referee's serious appearance, couldn't help but smile and put his arm around Chen Yu's shoulder, and said to the referee: "I didn't threaten him." ”
Chen Yu smiled and waved his hand to the referee, "He's joking with me." ”
The referee looked at the two of them looking very friendly, couldn't help but shake his head, turned around and ran away.
The free kick was about 30 minutes away from the goal, and it was difficult to shoot directly, and when Fiore took the free kick, he hit the ball directly into the penalty area and let Tony and Chen Yu fight for the top.
Tony and Chen Yu's headers were excellent, Tony caught everyone's attention in the middle, and Chen Yu suddenly swam to the back of the goal to grab a header.
A star like Chen Yu will not be stared at when he is running, Gao Fei has been staring at Chen Yu, but Chen Yu's start speed is fast and explosive, Gao Fei is aware, but his body can't keep up, so he can only watch Chen Yu head the goal in front of him.
However, the angle of Chen Yu's header is not large, and the 38-year-old veteran goalkeeper Berti has been experienced, and the angle has been sealed, and the ball bounced out of Berti's body.
Fiorentina's attack did not score, but it was very morale-boosting, and then Fiorentina launched a wave of more aggressive attacks, but Empoli's defense performed really well today, in the 38th minute, Toney's powerful header was blocked by defender Korda on the goal line again, and Fiorentina never had a chance to score in the first half.
The referee's whistle sounded, and Gao Fei, who was in charge of guarding Chen Yu, said to Chen Yu with a smile: "How do you feel."
Chen Yu smiled slightly, "There are still 45 minutes, theoretically, I can score 45 goals." ”
Gao Fei was speechless and touched Chen Yu's forehead, "What do you think about playing basketball?" ”
Chen Yu said: "You can't deny that there is such a possibility. ”
Gao Fei said: "Okay, I'm waiting for you to score our 45 goals, but if you lose or draw in the end, don't blame me." ”
Chen Yu Zhengse said: "No matter what the result, I won't complain, even you can't win, what qualifications do we have to compete for the league championship." ”
Gao Fei was stunned for a moment, and said with a straight face: "It seems that Juventus and Milan have scored, but I will not relax my defense against you." ”
Chen Yu gestured a middle finger to Gao Fei, turned around and followed his teammates to his locker room
In the first half, Fiorentina and Empoli played a 00 draw, but Juventus and Milan both scored, Milan also scored two, and it was only a matter of time before they won, which is a lot of pressure on Fiorentina, which means that if they don't score, Juventus will stretch the points to U points, and then Milan will narrow the points to points, which is unacceptable to Fiorentina. There are 10 rounds left in the league, and if it is such a scoreline, it will be difficult for Fiorentina to win the title.
Although Juventus is now in trouble and can be said to have encountered important troubles, Capello is known as an iron-blooded coach and may really have the ability to control the team, and Juventus, under the influence of the scandal, may also want to divert attention through the team's victory, so Fiorentina's championship prospects are really difficult to say.
The second half of the game was even more intense, and at half-time, Fiorentina coach Prandelli made another tactical adjustment, removing the original only starting midfielder Brocki and going to Montolivo, putting on a completely attacking posture.
Empoli manager Carney responded to Prandelli's change with a back three, and met Fiorentina's sharpest spear attack with the strongest shield.
With Empoli's tenacious defence, Fiorentina did not break the deadlock until the 75th minute.
Montolivo's position before the goal had already mentioned that Empoli was 35 metres out and could cut into the box at any time and also play their own long-range shots.
And Montolivo is still a substitute in Fiorentina, his characteristics, Empoli's players are not fully understood, when Montolivo fired a cold shot towards Empoli's goal, goalkeeper Berty was caught off guard, reacted a little slower, and did not save the ball.
Luckily, the ball was blocked by the post, but the unfortunate Fiorentina striker Toney took advantage of his height and legs to head the ball into the empty net with a header.
After 1-0, Fiorentina continued to strengthen their attack, while Empoli could no longer defend as before, and the game became more open.
In the RU minute of the game, Fiorentina's full-back Jorgensen broke through the cross on the side, and Chen Yu grabbed the goal seven meters in front of the goal to expand the score to 0
This rush fully demonstrated Chen Yu's strength and reflexes, and Gao Fei almost pulled off Chen Yu's jersey but was unable to stop Chen Yu from stabbing the ball into the net.
"How? Convincing, aren't you? ”
Chen Yu celebrated and returned and said to Gao Fei.
Gao Fei was speechless and said, "There are still ten minutes, and theoretically we can score 10 goals." ”
Chen Yu smiled: "Okay, I'll wait for you to score." ”
After Empoli attacked, he also showed the strength of his ranking. In the previous RU minutes, they had only completed three shots on goal, and after Fiorentina took a 0-0 lead, their number of shots on goal skyrocketed
In the 85th minute of the game, Rigano grabbed a penalty in front of the goal and helped Empoli pull a goal back, but at this time the Fiorentina striker's form also came up, and three minutes later, Chen Yu scored a free kick directly through the door of Siena, and completely killed this Tuscan derby.
After the game, Gao Fei found Chen Yu, took off his jersey, and threw it to Chen Yu, "Star, change your jersey." ”
Chen Yu took off his wet jersey and threw it to Gao Fei, and said angrily: "It's all ruined by you, you are really fucking desperate." ”
Gao Fei glared at him and said, "As you said, if you don't defeat us, you are not qualified to win the championship, and I must not try your true life." ”
Chen Yu smiled bitterly: "Okay, you wait at night, don't want to leave if you don't get drunk." ”
Gao Fei said: "Damn, what am I going to leave when I'm drunk, I'll live in your house, anyway, I don't have the Champions League to play."
Chen Yu smiled: "It's still on it, okay, you can live if you like, anyway, I'm going to Spain to see the beautiful beaches of the Iberian Peninsula." ”
Gao Fei punched Chen Yu in the chest and said: "Juventus has played chicken blood and won again, you have to play well in the Champions League, don't make a bamboo basket empty." ”
Chen Yu said: "Just talk about frustration, we have the initiative, now as long as we follow Juventus, we have a chance to kill it." ”
Gao Fei said: "Okay, come on, P-year-old guy, the reporter is looking for you, I'll go back first." ”
"Well, I'll see you later."
Chen Yu walked towards the reporters who were gathered around.
In the P round, Fiorentina defeated Empoli 3:l without danger, and continued to catch up, and Juventus, which was in crisis, has not collapsed, under the leadership of Capello, the Bianconeri team defeated the strong opponent Sampdoria at L:0 away with amazing willpower, won three consecutive victories after the scandal was exposed, and still maintained a three-point advantage over Fiorentina.
Back at home, AC Milan played much easier than Fiorentina and Juventus, facing Siena at the San Siro and continuing their title dreams with a comfortable 3-0 thrashing against a mid-table side.
The only team in the semi-finals who did not win was Inter Milan, who lost all their hopes of winning the title with a draw that left them with only a Champions League place next season and a Champions League place this season.
However, because Inter Milan's opponent is Roma, who is competing with them for a Champions League spot, this game allowed Inter Milan to maintain a four-point advantage over Roma, and also ended Roma's winning streak, which is also a good draw for Inter Milan.
After the P round, the second leg of the Champions League quarter-knockout round kicked off, and the media even put aside the phonegate incident for the time being, focusing all their attention on the world's famous quarter-finals
